fantastic stay

amazing service front door drinks ski boot drying room cheese board

The hotel had amazing service, they provided little extras, like drinks at the front door and tea. coffee in the room. i found a drying room for ski boots, dyson hair dryers, and even a rubber duck. the late check out option and a cheese board were available. It felt very luxurious.

I did notice the restaurant seemed to lack a certain ambiance. It was a very minor point, though.
